What Boris said, plus I do not understand the motivation behind the
policy either.  More importantly: what drawback would there be in
setting a global JAVA_HOME?

And even assuming the policy is actually sound, wouldn't it make sense
to break it, if that improve the out-of-the-box user experience?  On one
hand, we provide a mechanism to point to a default JRE, on the other we
purposefully force the user to tweak its environment to make use of it.
That is not very coherent.
